10 ARGUMENTS FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE K5HIKE.EU / SLOVENIJA360.SI PROJECT
Let’s connect the most beautiful Slovenian hiking trails and trails of 5 neighboring friendly countries
Proven coordinating organization:
The Kažipot Velenje holiday association has been implementing projects for young people since 1953, which could be divided into the following groups: international cooperation, entertainment, informal education and sports. As part of the association’s last major project, representatives of North and South Korea planted two Friendship Linden Trees in the Peace Park. Our members have already planted a total of 7 Friendship Linden Trees in several EU countries and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The members also built their own sports park with a climbing wall through their hard work. We also have a mountaineering section.. https://slsi.facebook.com/pg/pdkazipot/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10163607435360319&ref=page_internal For past activities, we have been awarded the status of a Non-Governmental Organization in the Public Interest by both the Republic of Slovenia and the Velenje Municipality. For past activities, especially for the www.nomorewars.eu project, we are also gaining the status of an honorary organization that operates in the public interest.
More active leisure time for young people
With the projects: https://www.k5hike.eu and https://www.slovenija360.si/, we want to enable as many young people as possible to spend their free time actively and thereby contribute to improving their psychophysical health, which, according to the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Sports and our professional partner: University of Primorska, Faculty of Health Sciences, is already seriously endangered. More about this at: https://www.slofit.org/aktualno Critical psychophysical health is also proven by the fact that almost all the beds in the pediatric psychiatric departments in Slovenian hospitals are full of young people. Even after quarantine, they spend too much time in their rooms instead of in nature, in the company of their friends.
More healthy and active young generation:
To implement that goal, we all need to do something to change this trend. It is in your and our interest that the next generations of young people are as healthy as possible. Our association has quite a few references in this area, as proven by many projects: e.g.: Healthy and Active, with which we encouraged young people to participate in sports during the quarantine with videos (you can see more about this at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNH6Um0I91gvJEvk4TzIKXQ .
To enable young people from socially disadvantaged families to participate in at least one trail for free:
Last year, we enabled some young people who otherwise would not have been able to afford such hikes to walk the mountain trail from Maribor to Ankaran. You can find out more about this via photo blogs at: https://www.slovenija360.si/ It should be noted that the aforementioned project activity is a continuation of a national project started a decade ago, which, through meetings of young people from various Slovenian regions, encouraged their national awareness, patriotism and desire to learn about the beauties of our homeland and its citizens. More about this at https://www.facebook.com/pdkazipot/photos/?tab=album&ref=page_internal
Almost closed financial structure of the project:
That we will manage to achieve a very similar goal this year and enable at least 15 (up to a maximum of 35) participants to walk the longest part of the route from Ankaran to Hodoš and back to Maribor is also proven by the almost closed financial structure of the project, which our donors and sponsors helped us to close. Among the 21 major partners, we would like to highlight partners which are listed at: www.k5hike/thankyou We would also like to highlight our honorary patron of the project: Mrs. Vlasto Nussdorfer, advisor to the President of the Republic of Slovenia.
We are creating something big and also resonant:
With your help, we can create something big and also resonant – the New Slovenian Hiking Trail similar to Spanish El-Camino. Why? Because we need it this hike, because it is almost done but those hikes are not yet connected to the Story. After the completion of the project, it will be possible to go around Slovenia along all its external borders along the agreed marked trails. The circular trail (hence the name of the project and the website Slovenija360.si) will not only connect the beginning and end of two long (transverzala) Slovenian hiking trails, but will also enable connections to three European trails E6, E7 and E12! With connectivity, movement, sustainable tourism, we will enable not only our own development but also development and a new impetus after the year (hence the name of the trail C20 – C-like Corona) and 20 as the year when we stopped but stepped even more courageously into a better future!
We offer you several possible forms of cooperation: nja
Donation in the form of products, in quantities that are acceptable to you.
In the case of donation or sponsorship, your company logo will be published in the same size as for others on the project website, printed T-shirts and on a PVC poster in our (Kažipot) Sports Park.
And in the most visible place with the caption: From the beginning of the project, they believed in the Let’s Get to Know Slovenia Project according to SPP1.
Clear (short-term, medium-term, and long-term) projects goal
Among these, we would highlight:
Modernization of mountain trails with electronic stamps, selfie frames of surrounding areas….
Encourage young people to replace social media more often with exercise in nature, including hiking or mountaineering.
Caring for the psycho-social health of the most vulnerable groups at the moment – the unemployed and young people. The current generation stands out for its excessively high body mass index, and in the next measurements, these data will be even more critical due to the “quarantine” stay at home.
Caring for forests and nature by planting trees and spices along the oldest Slovenian Transversal SPP1 trail.
Benefits of cooperation for your company
The project is designed in such a way that the older generation (grandparents with children and grandchildren, walk as many paths as possible together) … which also allows you to present yourself to all groups of your customers. Since mountain clubs and organizations from all over Slovenia will join the project, your products will be introduced to a wide group of potential customers in the field.
And a practical reward for your employees in the form of bonuses, which we have missed the most in the past period: socializing and playing sports in the fresh air. Therefore, in exchange for your help, we offer you: free recreation in our sports park and one-day rental of a picnic area with sports fields and equipment.
United and united
We believe that it will be difficult to implement such an extensive project. But that is precisely why we want to implement it. To prove that we are united, that European/Slovenians and theirs neighboring nations lives in solidarity and ready to do something good together. Like during the campaign I Give and I Receive, when our former country was in economic crisis but companies and citizens together managed to achieve something, they believed in. And those people you help in such moments know how to return their gratitude and loyalty to such a partner. Therefore, prove that you believe in the goals of the project and that these modest goals will create a big story for our participants and your company. Regarding the forms of cooperation, we are ready to adapt to you.
